You can pry Marcy streamer AU from my cold dead hands

Marcy Wu Streamer AU!

Started streaming as a backup while waiting for their webcomic to blow up

When their account gained traction they used it to help advertise their comic

They do both for a living now

They game on it and sometimes do vlog type streams

They does a lot of charity streams (angsty charity week fic anyone???)

Annual subathons

Lives with the girlfriends (Anne and Sasha)

Sleep schedule? Non-existent!

Anne and Sasha are fan favourites even if they do end some streams early to force Marcy to sleep

She does sub only drawing streams for their comics especially after a hiatus

Or they do public drawing streams of intermission episodes

Anne and Sasha sometimes come onto a stream with them

Marcy has a lot of guilt from Amphibia still :(

(And scars)

Not fully disabled but they need a walking aid sometimes and a wheelchair if the pain gets really bad

They still have traces of Darcy her head but they can't control her they just give advice

Or complain that Marcy won't kill anyone

They can't go to Amphibia but they can call/text through dimensions since Anne gave sprig her phone and Polly figured out how to make more

Marcy refuses any type of therapy (they don't think they deserve help)

But she will break down crying in their girlfriend's arms sometimes

She/they (realized she liked they/them pronouns after everyone referred to Darcy as they seeing as they were multiple minds, heavily they leaning)

Anne has a pet cat that looks like Domino and she lives with them

Marcy has that gaming posture (atrocious)

They post all of their VODs on YouTube

Marcy has crocheted all of them plushies of their family in amphibia (Sasha with Percy, Braddock and Grime, Anne with Sprig, Polly and Hop-pop, and Marcy with Olivia and Yunan (and a secret andrius plush that they can't look at most days))

None of them have their powers but they do have traces of energy, which is why Darcy stays in Marcy's head instead of just shutting off

Marcy dyes some of her hair green in reminder of when they had cool anime powers

Also, she's worked a lot of aspects of Amphibia into their comic so they have an excuse to make Amphibia merch

Most of their fans are worried about her because she's always up so late

Marcy speaks Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Portuguese, and Ukrainian and voice over all of their streams in these languages to post them on their separate VOD channels

They're trying to learn more (Greek, German, Russian, ect.)

Because of Darcy and her wit powers they learn easier (super brain)

All of her fans theorize on why them and their girlfriends went missing for like a year seeing as frogvasion has been wiped from the media

The calamity trio know most of the Disney protags (Dipper, Luz, Molly, Star, and the other people in included in those franchises)

They all live in the same world (-star, Marco and Tom but dimensional scissors yk?)

Luz reached out to Anne for help building a portal, Dipper and Mabel met Molly while ghost hunting

They have all separately run into Star while researching energy levels that came from Stars weird dimensional travel

Therefore Marco added them all to a discord server and the rest is history

They sometimes guest star on Marcy's channel

June has programmed Marcy a game before

Sasha is planning to propose (shhh don't tell Anne and Marcy)

Marcy has cut contact with her family (I don't care what cannon says her parents aren't good people)

(She would not cling onto any sort of affection this much if their parents loved them)

(Fight me)

Marcy hates going to the doctor or bathing (the bath reminds her of the rejuvenation tank and she just generally distrusts the government after Anne told them about the whole thing with Mr X)

The only doctor they trust is the dentist for some reason???

When asked Marcy just shrugs

And the vet but they aren't the one getting tested at the vet and she cares about Domino 3 too much not to go to the vet

Marcy Wu=autism

Marcy has severe anxiety

Marcy has depression

Marcy streams from bed sometimes just because they're in too much pain to walk and their girlfriends aren't their to put them into her wheelchair but she has that grind set for their stream dates

Marcy has crocheted enough Olivia and Yunan plushies to give a small army

They give them away during giveaways as beta designs for some of her characters

[straw-eri-chan]

Another TimKon AU!

"Superboy!" Robin cried. running towards the body on the ground. Rain fell from the sky, soaking through his suit and causing the concrete below him too slick. His boots slipped and he slammed into the floor, feeling hot blood drip from his nose.

Scrambling back up at once, Robin finally made it to his teammate, crouching next to him on his knees. His hair and domino mask was sticking uncomfortably to his face, and the blood from his nose dripped onto Superboy. He grimaced and wiped it off.

His hands were trembling as he cupped Superboy's face, whispering his name. Filled with emotion at seeing the hero's eyes flutter open, Robin leaned down and kissed him.

"Cut!"

I would love to hear more about your Mabel Chaos AU! I can see the chaotic neutral of it all, but I’m curious what the plot is, if you’re willing to share? :)

okay i REALLY did not expect anyone to care, so waking up with several asks in my inbox was actually insane. my dream of people wanting to hear me yap came true! thank you, actually.

anyways; this au is really just me wanting to play around with Bill’s whole “Mabel is chaotic and could help me” idea he expressed several times. it’s probabaly somehow illogical, but it’s because i just really wanted to draw some evil mabel. except she’s not actually evil.

This might be way too long, and be a bit crappy and badly written. but let’s go.

Suring Sock Opera, Bill decides to Decieve Mabel instead of Dipper. he comes into her dreams and tells her that he could help her with her puppet show. also that Dipper has been very unhelpful to her, and that Bill didn’t mean to hurt them during ‘Dreamscaperers’. He was just following orders. See? he’s a trustworthy guy!

Mabel, in her good-hearted nature, decides to give Bill another chance. Bill tells her to take Dipper’s computer and journal and destroy them, but Mabel refuses, and tells him he’s acting very suspiciously.

Bill, already tired of her shit, tells her to go into the basement. When she follows him, she sees Stan working on the portal. Mabel’s very confused by that, and Bill feeds into her confusion by saying that her family might not be the most trustworthy people there are.

stan leaves, and Bill humors Mabel and tells her what this is. Mabel wants to uphold her end of the deal somehow, and tries to fix the portal. it doesn’t work, of course, but from the small amount of radiation and weirdness (and Bill being there) a rift - like in ‘Don’t Dimention It’ - opens. Mable falls into it, to her and Bill’s surprise. He just wanted her to destroy the journal!

Mabel sees Bill sitting on his nightmarish throne. She starts yelling at how Bill betrayed his deal, and how she shouldn’t have ever trusted him. Bill defends himself with “WHY WOULD I EVER WANT YOU TO COME HERE? TELL ME A REASON, SHOOTING STAR. I JUST WANTED YOU TO HELP ME WITH THE JOURNALS, AND NOW I DONT HAVE THEM, THE PORTAL, OR A FUNCTIONING VESSEL TO HELP ME WITH THEM.”

He tells her the portal was meant as an escape from here. Mabel hears all of that, and hears that the nightmare dimention is soon to crumble, and thinks that, well, they have the same goal. A henchmaniac whispers something in Bill’s ‘ear’, and Bill realizes that he just found a possible ally that is young, impressionable, and most importantly - capable of chaos. Bill strikes up another deal with Mabel, who realizes she probabaly doesn’t have a way out of here alone. A deal saying that she will just stay here and help Bill sometimes, and he will get her out of this nightmare. Mabel agrees immediately.

Mabel becomes part of the team, and she gets along pretty well with everyone! She tries her best to be on good terms with anyone she can, but Hectorgon is still very skeptical of a random kid. Mabel gets along the best with Bill (who is somewhat of a guidance to her, sadly) and with Pyronica. Mabel really likes talking about girl stuff, and Pyronica is happy there’s finally another girl on the team (that she can see). Pyronica even makes Mabel a weapon, which are basically a bunch of needles that are on fire. i might change that in the future if i get a better idea.

They all call her Shooting Star instead, but Mabel doesn’t mind, a cool nickname is a cool nickname.

Mabel originally isn’t very keen on the destructive chaos and violence of the other henchmaniacs, but with time she gets used to it, and sometimes even goes on missions by herself. She definitely still can’t handle intense violence and murder, but she’s immune to lesser evils.

Mabel gets noticed by Ford a couple of times, mainly on wanted posters, and he is very distressed at seeing not only a human child, but a human child in Bill’s team.

On earth, Dipper wakes up and realizes that Mabel in nowhere to be seen. Everyone searches for her everywhere, but it’s like all traces of her disappeared. Dipper’s parents arrive, but Dipper refuses to come back home with them. Later, Stan goes back to the portal, and sees that it has been tampered with, but more importantly, a headband lying on the ground (definitely not a reference to Ford’s lost glasses after he falls into the portal). Stan originally doesn’t want to tell anyone what he thinks happens. it’s not like he’s even sure how the portal got turned on and worked! But with time a smaller in scale ‘Not What He Seems’ happens, with Wendy this time, and Ford comes out of the portal.

Everything gets cleared up, but Ford can’t answer dipper’s question about where’s Mabel. He tells Dipper that she might be working with Bill, but he can’t be sure. Dipper is devastated.

Most episodes happen the same way, but there’s a bigger rift between Ford&Dipper and Stan. Some stuff - like the protection of the shack during ‘The Last Mabelcorn’ - doesn’t happen at all.

I’m not 100% sure how weirdmaggedon happens, but it’s along the lines of Stan refusing Dipper to go help ford with the space glue, Bill communicating with Dipper in his dreams, and Dipper wanting to stick it up to stan, but the rift opens, and Weirdmaggedon begins.

i haven’t made up what happens there yet, or how it ends, but i do know Dipper and Mabel are gonna meet again.

WHOO, i’m done. this was way too long, but i did say i could yap about this for hours. this is the shortest i can make it. sorry y’all. I hope this was engaging enough lol

Hi :)

i couldn't help but notice your dca dredge au and as someone who is very much a fan of the game (and is working on their own dredge dca fic) i'm incredibly curious and would love to hear more about your au. please and thank you ( •̯́ ^ •̯̀)♡

Hi! Aaaaah another dredge fan! I'm always happy to rant about an au, especially Dredge holy shit I am in so deep with this game (no pun intended). Thank you for asking! (Giant dredge rant incoming lmao)

But basically what I have for this au so far is just a lot of ideas, some one shots I've written for myself, and the only art I have (added it below) is just a rough rushed sketch for a little animatic I made a while back for an art trend that was going around a while ago.

Spoilers for Dredge and it's DLCs below the cut for anyone reading and wants to play blind, you have been warned! (Seriously play this game blind its fucking amazing!)

The main gist I have is that yn is essentially in the shoes of the fisherman we play as in Dredge, showing up for a fishing job all while having mysterious gaps in their memory and a lack of understanding as to why these people they're meeting for the first time seem to recognize and know them! They meet the collector and follow the games plot (including the big reveal of the collector being the player, so in this case being yn) Rather than yn having lost a partner like the player though I've shifted things to be the person they lost, and their Collector half is trying to get back regardless of cost, is actually Eclipse himself who happens to be an eldritch entity that would be a very bad idea to release on the world, so the ending of the game in this au is essentially the choice of 'bring back your eldritch companion or accept that you aren't gonna see them again and do what you can to fix the shit going on with the world! So yn has to deal with the two versions of her in her head, the one that wants Eclipse back and the one that understands the catastrophic consequences of what doing that entails for the rest of the world.

Sun and Moon in this au are mers who have their own territory and love poking around yn's boat (and trying to keep them from getting themselves killed by the plethora of monsters and dangers roaming the sea with them!) Sun's territories are the Stellar Basin and Gale Cliffs in the south and Moon's are the Twisted Strand and the Devil's Spine in the north. I have a few different ideas floating around for the two of them, the main of which is that both are literally just smaller manifestations of Eclipse and together can form him so normally they make a point not to be too close together or not to touch when they are (or maybe just under certain conditions when Eclipse is close to being freed that's when they stay apart most to try to keep that from happening) I have some images in my mind of designs for Sun and Moon but nothing really fleshed out and actually drawn though each has certain characteristics tying to their respective territories, like Moon's red eyes resembling the eyes of the fire fish and the Unseeing Mother have in the Devil's Spine while also having slit pupils at times like the crocodiles do in the Twisted Strand. Meanwhile Sun has fluorescent spots on him like the fish and creature in the center of the Stellar Basin but can also change colors to blend into the more dull colors of the Gale Cliffs (or at least dull colors in comparison to how vibrant the Stellar Basin is lmao). I also imagine Sun and Moon have certain comfort spots they like to nestle into depending on the territory they're in when they're not busy trying to get all of yn's attention, Sun specifically usually enjoys resting behind the waterfall in the Gale Cliffs where you catch the oarfish while Moon enjoys lying hidden in the roots of the mangrove trees in the Twisted Strand near where you catch the goliath tigerfish.

While Sun and Moon are more playfully antagonistic towards yn Eclipse is a lot more intimidating for obvious reasons! He can't directly communicate a lot with yn the way Sun and Moon can since he has to be summoned to their world while Sun and Moon just get to exist in it but I imagine he is still very adamant in interacting when he can, usually through dreams that yn can't even always discern between being real things or just something random their brain made up in their sleep! Eclipse just wants out and could care less about what that means for the rest of the world so he is very keen on yn giving in to the Collector and gathering the things needed to bring him to yn's world. While all three of the boys care for yn, Eclipse has a bit more extreme of an obsession and desire to keep them around and struggles to grasp why yn won't just bring him back since he's promised to keep them safe when the world goes to shit. I also imagine him having direct ties to certain fish aberrations end up since I do have some scenes either rough draft written out or just in my head which could be its own whole long post in itself but the main idea is that some fish aberrations just happened to occur the way they did while others Eclipse specifically altered the way they look for a reason (with this being most relevant for the legendary fish aberrations which, like I mentioned, can be an entire long post on its own lmao). In terms of how Eclipse and yn met and what got him so interested in them in the first place has a couple options floating around my mind still, the main one being while Eclipse was spying on the world yn inhabits he notices that they actually seem intrigued and curious over the fish aberrations rather than repulsed like humans typically are and he gets so curious over the odd reaction he starts keeping more of an eye on them to the point he develops an obsession and starts trying to reach out in the ways he can, and then one way or another after they've actually started talking we get to the events of the game where the book is dragged up only for yn to lose their memories and now be faced with the choice of throw the book back or bring Eclipse to their world.

I also have ideas about how the dlc plays into things, with none of the boys really being happy about the Iron Rig showing up and ruining things for them (on top of endangering their yn!) and for the Pale Reach I have a lot more ideas that drift farther from the actual lore of the dlc, though that dlc's main story is still involved and is the same. But basically the Pale Reach story in this dlc on top of the actual dlc's story follows yn trying to see if there's a way for either Eclipse or if not then a smaller more restrained version of him to visit without ending the whole world as they know it since they are trying to meet him again just not at the cost of reality itself breaking!

But yeah that's a lot of the overview stuff I have for this au, Dredge has been a very strong brain rot for me (clearly by the length of this post lmao) but I love talking about it, so feel free to ask more about it if you have anymore specific questions about it or just want to know more in general! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Thanks for asking about the au I love ranting about this, and I'd love to check out your dredge dca fic! (Sorry this took over a week to get through time has really gotten away from me recently lol)

Someone made him mad - Ear Piercer

(btw this is an AU before anyone asks from outside of my account, he's villain)

[babybirbb]

Just started watching suits recently and was wondering if you had any good fic recs, particularly AUs. The nature of the show really lends itself to Selkie fics imo but also I just love selkies

anon i need you to know that as soon as i saw your ask i immediately went scouring through the AU tag on ao3. i’m not gonna lie, i'm not usually an AU reader but i wanted to challenge myself to provide some recs as unbiasedly as possible.

at first observation, i noticed a lot of the AU fics were still in some way canon (divergent and adjacent)-- usually splitting off somewhere along the show or a situation where Mike or Harvey is still a lawyer, while the other was not. i will say i skipped over smut-based (omegaverse, bdsm) and lengthy fics (under 20k is nothing, anything more than 50k is pushing it for me) cause i just did not have the brainpower to even try to get through them :/

so of course the ones i ended up liking were mostly canon divergent/adjacent but i tried my best to get you something different. what i managed to dig up for you is under the cut and i really hope you like them anon (also fyi these are all pretty much marvey fics, hope that's okay!) <3 also thanks so much for the ask! i enjoyed this little scavenger hunt haha!

ART!

omg I actually drew stuff I want to post for once this is a miracle! (/hj) Kinda just started sketching and ended up with a lot of sleepy skeletons (mostly Mystic and Killer)

its all really rough sketches and some coloring, plus i'm new to posting my art here so please be nice about it.

anyway. I present some rouch sketches of my favorite dumbasses (I drew them with a queerplatonic kind of relationship vibe btw) below the cut!

yes this features mystic's tail loads. I just love drawing it because its so expressive. only one shot with their wings because I just had to get those in there at some point.

most of these are based on reference things from pinterest

my art style on digital is so inconsistent but i think I managed to keep it together for these.

(I'm yapping so much cause I'm anxious to show these. gods okay here we go :] )

[intervalart]

chat i have 5 aus and i wrote up very very brief summaries of all of them

should i post them y/n

38(???) days until Charlie...

Ok you know what the whole Jim Starling is Drake Mallard's father AU concept is living rent free in my head and I'm 3000 words into a WIP about this. I have so many ideas on what I can do here it's not even funny.

[asterbats]

i think for the shitty scorpion family, their entire dynamic is definitely toxic (heh) but also neither dusk nor bruno is an inherently terrible person? its just that they’re a) horrible together longterm as they are and b) people who should not have had kids.

[trohpi]

heres a super short snippet of my trans girl reg waterlily wip bc they consume my every waking thought <3

warning: theres some internalized transphobia here! proceed with caution

“Sometimes, I feel like a girl.” The words spill out unbidden, her voice a mere breath in the quiet. Lily hears it anyway, she always does.

“Sometimes?” Lily asks, her voice careful.

“All of the time,” Regulus admits in a whisper, shame dripping from her voice. Her hands tremble where they grip the hem of her nightshirt, and yet she doesn’t dare look up from the table to meet her friend’s eyes. If she does, she’s sure the disgust marring Lily’s delicate features would be the end of her.

“Well,” Lily says after a bout of silence. “That explains some things.”

Regulus bursts into tears. They’re hot and sticky as they carve their way down her cheeks, and suddenly she’s drowning. Drowning in tears, drowning in emotion, drowning in all of it. It feels as if her chest has been cracked open, blood and bone and sickening secrets spilled out for everyone to see. She sobs and her lungs ache with it.

“—eathe, just breathe,” Lily is saying, though her voice is muffled by the rush of blood in Regulus’ ears. She shakes her head and the sobs only increase. Suddenly, familiarly icy fingers wrap themselves around her fingers. The shock of cold startles her and all at once she’s no longer drowning.

“Hey.” Lily lifts the other girl’s hand and presses it to her chest, right above her heart. “Feel that? Focus on that, on me.”

And so she does.
